That's really a good idea. I'm not sure that Chico's is her style but a good friend lost her 23 year old son last night (who was also one of my son's best friends) in an accident, and she is such a fabulous person. Gave me an idea to do something for her in the next month or so, when the newness has slacked off and she needs a pick me up

Absolutely love this. Sometimes we get the perfect gift at the right time... whether it be a compliment, a kind word... or a gift card to the store we are dying to go to! Yay you :) And I've been there proctoring, it is NOT fun. Whine away - you deserved the right!xo ~kim

Pam just what you needed! I understand you so much. I had myself a little pity party earlier about why isn't my health improving? Why won't someone close to me just be kind and loving? ( I will never be able to fix her of course!) My condo which has been shown many, many times without an offer had me leaving the house twice today though I am exhausted!

Then.....a super friend brought by a lovely gift that I had admired in her home, I was so thrilled and touched.

Now yes it is my turn to pay it forward! I do have a new and interesting post for this week!

Well at least you look fabulous. Oh do I wish we could've had this picture for "How I Wear My: Animal Print". We definitely needed some tiger print. Your shoes are great, I love the toe on them, they look like true ballerina shoes. XO, Jill

Pam dear-I've been off the radar for a few days-trying to catch up with life. I'm stalking your blog tonight to catch up and can only share my deep condolences on the loss of your mom, support for dealing with the emotions and grief (I've been there), and share your good feelings about some generosities that have come your way. Life is always such a mix. But what a gift that we realize the bounties when the time is right. Lovely post! xx, Heather

hi Ginnie, These are my favorite pair of pants at the moment...they are actually leggings from Coldwater Creek and I love them. Despite the fact they are leggings, I wear them to work with no concerns. CC makes wonderful leggings!

I haven't popped by your blog for sometime, this one made me think, I've been whining just lately about un-necessary things , how lovely you had a surprise gift, I haven't been given a surprise gift but I've given myself a talking to to stop moaning and get on with things. I really don't have anything to moan about, so it must be just one of those periods I'm going through. Thank you Pam

You are a master story teller! We all have days like this one, so thanks for sharing. A very special gift from a dear friend! You look beautiful and it's so fun to hear about life turning on a dime in a fun and wonderful way.

You are doing ok?not too busy?What a sweet man, i felt better
